The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016.

Every so often you come across a girl who just loves being in front of the camera. There are a few on this site, but I want to mention one right now. That person is Cierra.

Cierra loves having her photos taken. She not only likes posing for me, but her camera is always full of photos of friends or events. The other day, however, I got a text message to log onto AIM, so I did. When I logged in, Cierra was online and started sending me photos that she had taken of her feet. Needless to say, I wanted to check them out. When I opened them, my jaw about hit the floor.

Now, I've always found Cierra's feet to be darn cute, but for some reason her photos just made me want them in my hands right that second. Seriously, her toes were painted bright pink and her new star tattoo was on display front and center. Best of all though was the poses she put her feet in.

I guess Cierra has either been paying attention to all the poses I've given her, or she's just a self-taught pro. The poses her feet are in are very playful and to me, match her personality exactly.

Well, I could go on forever and ever about these photos, but I'm going to let you take a look at what she sent me below. I told her I was going to post them as I wanted you all to see them as well. Tell me what you think. I'm going to be sure to tell her! She told me she plans on taking more...

The blog below was originally published in Soles of Silk's Column section. It was archived and then republished here in 2016.At the end of last week I took a vacation with my friend and his girlfriend to Ohio. We stayed with her parent's place and pretty much every day we found something to do. Among our journeys we found ourselves in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, at the Cleveland Indian's Stadium (whatever corporate sponsor they currently have), and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Our last day in Ohio, however, was what we were most looking forward to. We shot over to Cedar Point Amusement Park and rode every coaster, some of them twice. I won't get into the fact that the Top Thrill Dragster spent more time being fixed than running, but what I do want to talk about is all the feet and toes on display on the hot and humid day we spent at the park. Everything from college aged cuties, to mothers walking around with their children, had the goods on display and I found something just a little odd that day with my observations.

The majority of the girls at the park, I'd say, were in their teens to about mid-20's. Lots of these girls were in flip flops or sandals. What I found odd was that it seemed like most of them had neglected their toes. Lots were unpainted, but so many had more chips than a bag of Chips A'hoy. Of course not all of them were like this, but it just seemed like a majority.

Now when I found myself looking at the 40-plus crowd, many walking around the park with their families, I found the exact opposite. The older women at the park had their toes neatly polished and many of them even sported toe rings on their toes.

One woman, who sat next to me on one of those giant swing rides (they packed you in so all seats were filled), had the hottest feet I saw all day. Her toes were painted silver and she wore three toe rings. Her soles were also dirty. I got a great view of them as they made people with flip flops leave them aside while on the ride. She was kicking her feet about before the ride and I think she caught me looking for sure.

I am not quite sure what to think about the difference with the attention paid to the pedicure of the different age groups because I usually don't find a difference when out and about. All I do know is on that day I would have loved to have found myself under lots of 40-plus women's hot, sweaty, tired feet.

A number of the Soles of Silk models have their very own Instagram and Twitter accounts where fans can reach them. Please feel free to let them know how much you enjoyed their work here, but above all else, please be respectful.

Wu's Feet Links Feature Sets, Interviews, & Columns

Back in 2005, only a few short months after Soles of Silk debut, Carmen became the first model to represent the site as a Wu's Feet Links feature model. I was deeply honored that Wu would ask me to take part in this prestigious section on his site. What I didn't know, however, was that he'd ask me to do so over and over again - each time with different models from Soles of Silk. My models have always been flattered to be picked to do these sets and I've always made sure to do some of my best work with each and every one of them.

After Wu's passing in 2014, I made sure the feature section would be a top priority in rebooting his site - Olivia's "Back to Business" site saw the relaunch of that section. Below you will find each and every set ever to be featured on Wu's Feet Links from Soles of Silk. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed shooting them.

In addition to the feature sets, two more items I decided to reboot was the Interviews and Columns sections. With the success of blogs today, I decided it would be a wise move to take those sections and create blogs for each one. I moved over all the interviews and columns from the past and have since taken over conducting/writing both. Below you will also find any interviews and/or columns that predominately feature one of the Soles of Silk models. (Note: A couple of the interviews listed are with models who either run, or at one time, ran their own sites and/or clips stores. These models also posed for Soles of Silk, so I decided to feature them here as well.)
